  • Plauen Lace

    In the event that you think that bloggers have to be knowledgeable, let me assure you that (at least for myself) they are not. I simply enjoy finding new things to read, respond to and research – and if I feel you might be interested as well, I do a blog. If you want to know more about something...

  • Re: Freestanding Lace FSL ~ How to make the stitch file

  • Mylar and Embroidery

    Embroidery is always trying to do new and different things. My mother's embroidery was limited essentially to linens, some decorating and clothing. Now we embroider on screen doors, wood and just about anything that does not move or require food. I wonder when someone will figure out how to embroider...
